ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for aligning and securing auxiliary equipment and structures with respect to a well drilling platform comprising a pair of elongated hydraulic jacks spaced apart in a non-parallel configuration, said jacks being pivotally secured between the base portions of the drilling platform and the auxiliary structure and lying in a substantially horizontal plane, whereupon, activation of the jacks pulls the auxiliary structure into substantial alignment and spacing with respect to the drilling platform. Upon alignment and spacing, a pair of pivotal connecting links secures the base portion of the structure to the base portion of the platform and including a pair of longitudinally adjustable upper connecting links secured between the upper portions of the platform and the structure whereby adjustment in length of said upper connecting links compensates for a slightly unlevel drilling site, said auxiliary structure serving to stabilize said platform against side loads.
